CO(M)XÉNERO
Permanent Seminar on Communication and Gender
The persistence of the androcentric discourse in the contents, the editorial line and the organizational structures of the current media reflects and perpetuates an asymmetric and dysfunctional society that silences and disables divergent positions.
In order to put an end to this disabling dynamic, the construction of audiences and collectives formed in critical thinking, capable of analyzing, deconstructing and even beginning to reverse the representations and sexist structures present in the media is a need.
The urgency of this training demands the immediate incorporation of Gender Studies into existing educational plans in the area of communication. In this context, the seminar CO(M)XÉNERO seeks to be a permanent focus of discussion and training on the role of the media in the structuring of society, with special attention to the informative and cinematographic visibility of gender identity(s).
